A Druid Also Can Cultivate-Chapter 291 - 289: Rediscovering One’s True Heart! A World-Shaking Sword!

Chapter 291: Chapter 289: Rediscovering One’s True Heart! A World-Shaking Sword!

Wang He, with mere early-stage Golden Core cultivation, wielded the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword, pointing it at Gu Yunxiao, the renowned number one below Nascent Soul in the Qingtian Realm known as the Daoist of Wind and Thunder!

The words "Why wouldn’t I dare?" left Gu Yunxiao, a Golden Core Cultivator in the perfection realm, speechless!

The Daoist of Wind and Thunder cultivated the power of wind and thunder, achieving perfection in the Golden Core realm, excelling in both speed and attack, his prowess unparalleled among peers!

In his hand was also the Sect Protection Treasure, the Thunder Shocking Spear!

Rumor had it that Gu Yunxiao had once wielded the Thunder Shocking Spear against a Nascent Soul Cultivator in a shocking battle, marking him as a formidable hero of the Qingtian Realm!

Yet this very figure found himself momentarily halted before Wang He!

All because the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword was overpowering, manifesting the phenomenon of master protection upon Wang He!

The Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword, being one of the strongest Sect Protection Treasures of the Cyan Origin Sect, could unleash a might so grand that even he could not guarantee his safety.

Unless all six attacked together, utilizing the Sect Protection Treasure, there was a chance to remain unscathed under the surge of the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword.

"Elder Wang He, are you aware that if your actions lead to the destruction of the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword and Thunder Shocking Spear, and the Sect’s Golden Cores fall, should external Sects invade, the Cyan Origin Sect would be ruined by your hand, just for some who slaughtered the city and then murdered the elder—is it worth it?"

"Indeed, Elder Wang He, if external Sects take advantage and invade, the Sect would truly be in danger!"

...

Led by the Daoist of Wind and Thunder, Gu Yunxiao, those who earlier wouldn’t utter a word to Qi Ping were now suppressing their emotions, gently persuading Wang He.

This scene left Qi Ping speechless; indeed, only with a weapon would people sit down to have a proper conversation with you.

Facing the Radical Faction’s words, even Wang He’s master Shen Qianxun appeared somewhat concerned, as in his eyes, those led by Gu Yunxiao were unscrupulous in achieving their goals, truly capable of doing such things!

He knew there was logic in Wang He’s words, but continuing down this path might ensure the Sect’s prosperity for a long time, yet should today’s events bring about its downfall, they would be eternally condemned!

But under this confrontation, the Neutral Faction, led by the Sect Master of Cyan Origin Sect, remained unchanged, pondering internally.

"Spit! Don’t you try moral blackmail here!"

"If that day comes, it would be of your making, and sooner or later, the Sect and the Qingtian Realm would fall at your hands!"

Facing the challenges and moral blackmail, Wang He almost spat like a common man, then, with a more frenzied expression, said:

"Today, if you insist on attacking Junior Brother Lin Ya, then act swiftly, but you must pass through me first!!"

Having said so, Wang He raised the intertwined black and white Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword before his chest, unleashing a mightier power from the sword!

He adopted the same strategy as Qi Ping; any slight movement from the opponent, and combined with the master-protecting effect of the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword, would certainly allow a lethal response against them.

When the Radical Faction’s six saw the failure of moral blackmail, Wang He’s stance hardened further, their faces immediately turning grim.

The atmosphere once again turned tense and explosive.

This step was utterly unexpected for them!

Should they choose to act, the loss would be immense!

With Wang He holding the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword, at least one or two of them would perish, and at least one Sect Protection Treasure would be wasted!

This is without counting on Qi Ping and others making their move.

Moreover, should Wang He prove right, and the late-stage Golden Core Cultivator and head of the Grand Array fight them regardless, their centuries-old foundation in the Cyan Origin Sect could be annihilated, a consequence absolutely unbearable.

But if they concede now, starting such precedence breaks more than just face; later, they’d find it more challenging to control the Neutral and Conservative Factions.

The major core industries they predominantly occupy would be forced to concede a portion, impacting their gradual control over the Cyan Origin Sect.

At this thought, the six led by Gu Yunxiao, the Daoist of Wind and Thunder, changed faces unpredictably; the situation seemed at a stalemate.

At this moment, Qi Ping also made a move.

"Senior Brother Wang He, thank you for your support; I will remember this favor! However, since today’s karmic ripples proceed from me, it should be me standing at the forefront!"

"If any of you wish to act, come at me!"

With Qi Ping’s voice, he stepped forward, instantly appearing at Wang He’s side, leveraging the Flame Heaven Seal and Home Realm’s protective effects, positioning himself between Wang He and the six from the Radical Faction.

This action made the six from the Radical Faction even more displeased. The Flame Heaven Seal’s power was already formidable; with its block and synergistic support of Wang He’s Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword, would surely increase the might by a level, making the consequences even direr!

Simultaneously, Qi Ping dared to stand with a Foundation Establishment level, among twelve Golden Cores, unwaveringly before the strongest Golden Core Cultivators of the Qingtian Realm, brandishing his blade, this courage instantly won over many.

Especially Wang He, who regarded Qi Ping with even greater esteem, indeed praiseworthy as the foundation stone!

Apparently, Wang He had not placed the wrong bet, given Qi Ping’s courage and responsibility!

Watching Qi Ping’s back, Wang He was deeply moved, recalling two centuries of past cowardice, a wave of indescribable guilt rising in his heart...

Yet unbeknownst to them, Qi Ping had deeper plans; with the Flame Heaven Seal in hand, the opposing six would likely expend their remaining two Sect Protection Treasures when distracted by Wang He.

Other Sect Protection Treasures should yield similar effects, and at that moment, armed with the status of a foundation stone, obtaining another Sect Protection Treasure could tilt the balance in their favor.

As Qi Ping acted, Wang He swiftly moved to stand beside him.

However, Wang He’s state and aura transformed entirely, a distinct aura rising from him.

"Junior Brother Lin Ya faithfully fulfills his duty as Guardian Envoy, upholding sectarian laws to purge traitors! Removing century-old illicit industries of Starfall City and luring out and slaying the ultimate black hand behind them, protecting Qingtian and safeguarding the Cyan Origin Sect’s millennia-long foundation, his merit is unparalleled!"

"And you dare to harm one with such unparalleled merit today!"

"Though I’ve held the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword over time, I’ve failed to uphold my heart, neglecting the duties of its bearer, allowing sins to perpetuate in the Qingtian Realm over a century, depleting spirit veins, and diminishing talents... I carry guilt! Guilt to the responsibilities of the Heaven and Earth Righteous bearer!"

"Fortunately, inspired by Junior Brother Lin Ya today, I’ve regained my heart...."

At this, Wang He’s aura rose dramatically, his Celestial Heart Sword Intent soared into the sky, with his Dao Heart Realm leaping directly to the Third Realm!

Even his comprehension of Sword Intent likewise reached the Third Realm at this moment!

With their fusion, a Celestial Heart Sword Intent capable of reaching the Nascent Soul level abruptly cleaved through the skies, endlessly drawing in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power into Wang He.

And the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword at this moment emitted a brilliant light, merging entirely with Wang He, aiding his swift absorption and refining of vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!

Man and sword became one, man as sword, sword as man!

Wang He’s aura rose once again!

Subsequently, the endless Celestial Heart Sword Intent and Spiritual Power converged into a terrifying sword of unprecedented might.

Then Wang He, without pause, swung a strike!

"Since you all dare not act, then by this sword, I shall strike!"
